If you are referring to Zotac Mini and Palit Dual Fan version then the main difference between them is just the cooler itself, both come with similar base clock and base clock FYI.

Intel Core i5 6500 - RM 835
Gigabyte H110M-DS2 (D4) - RM 276
Kingston 8GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 151
Palit GTX1060 6GB GDDR5 Dual Fan - RM 1128
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 209
FSP Hexa+ 550W - RM 188
Tecware Alpha - RM 199

Total: RM 2986 (ETech price inclusive of GST)

Optional upgrade/build:
1. 240GB SSD (or 120GB if only use to store OS)
2. RX480
3. GTX1060 (other version with better cooler design and clock speed)
4. Fully modular PSU

If budget is tight, go for 750 EVO/UV400 and vice versa.

Jetstream comes with factory overclocked settings so you will gain slight performance improvements (probably around 5 FPS+/-) over the one which runs on stock speed (Mini & Dual etc).

Yes, better airflow and cable management. Non modular cables are messy and a dust collector but much cheaper than fully modular  sweat.gif

VGA is using old school analog signal and the signal can be affected by many external factors like cable quality.

DVI and HDMI (DP also) are using digital signal naturally.

HDMI is more preferred in TV industry because it supports HDCP feature. Another thing to be noted is the resolution and refresh rate support, dual link DVI supports 144Hz (1080p) while you need HDMI 1.4 for 144Hz (1080p) and so on, this isn't important for you because your monitor max refresh rate is 60Hz (but you overclock it to 7x-ish).

So in conclusion, use HDMI instead of VGA port of your monitor since it doesn't come with DVI port at all.

Question,
1. do i really need cooler for non k cpu? could use the extra money for 240gb ssd.

2. palit dual and palit jetstream, dual review is just good also. so its ok for me to go for dual rather than jetstream right?

3. etech after sale service ok or not? idealtech after sale service is damn good, but abit expensive.

4. both shops actually using local distributor parts right? no problem for rma services?

Thank you so much. sorry for long post. icon_question.gif icon_question.gif icon_question.gif

1. You need a cooler, every CPU needs a cooler, but not all CPU require aftermarket cooler, non-K CPU runs fine on stock cooler.

2. If the price is too close, then Jetstream will be more worth since it comes with a better cooling solution and factory overclocked settings.

3. After sales services by ETech is ok for me, if you have issue with the item and want to send for warranty, just bring the item and receipt to the shop. If you want free pickup service, then you will have to choose Idealtech.

4. RMA largely depends on the local distributors, if they have technicians and parts available locally then pray hard that the item can be fixed in short amount of time, if not they will send back the item to the origin country to repair or exchange for a new unit, i.e. EVGA card is sent back to USA for RMA if I recall correctly.
